My Story

I'm a former weight loss blogger with nothing to lose except a few extra pounds. My weight loss method of choice (other than hard work and dedication)? The LapBand. I was banded December 20, 2010; so I'm 4.5 years post-op.

My highest weight ever recorded was 273 lbs. I had been at/around my goal weight for 3 years (+/- 10 lbs), until VERY late 2014, when I got pregnant. I'm due September 2015, and after that I will be rededicating myself to weight loss!

Insert the obligatory: This is a lifestyle change, not a diet. I had something surgically implanted in my body to help me control my portions. Notice I did not say to help me lose weight; that's up to me! The band doesn't make my food choices, or stop me from eating poorly.
